As the circle enlarges, the system approaches four T-intersections. What I want to know is: at what size circle to people lose their minds and become unable to comprehend how T-intersections work.

Fair play to people confused about multi-lane roundabouts though.

When I have a Car D behind me, it's because they overestimate my car's acceleration capabilities.

Those small green pissing pyramids are blocking the road.

F. The more fundamental problem is that these are all cars, not bikes. Fuck cars.

Drivers seem to love complaining about drivers

Not everybody is cut out to drive (i.e. to operate dangerous heavy machinery in a fast-changing environment with others depending on you handling the situation correctly). The problem is when we structure our societies requiring everyone to do so to participate.

I hate getting stuck behind the "I won't move until there are no cars anywhere on the planet" drivers.

Alternative scenario: C starts entering, A decides to FUCKING FLOOR IT, slams into C

I mean, nothing here is wrong but I have rarely had C being my primary issue when dealing with roundabouts. Idiots randomly entering the circle with no regard to other cars, THAT I've encountered quite frequently...

[-] Romkslrqusz@lemm.ee 22 points 21 hours ago

Biggest problem I encounter is people failing to signal their exit

So I end up being C because I yield to a bunch of bozos who didn’t communicate they were’t going to come my way

The only real problem I regularly encounter is on two lane roundabouts.

If you want to take the first exit you need to enter in the passenger side lane.

If you want to take any exit after the second you need to enter in the driver's side lane.

If you enter in the passenger side lane, you must take the first or second exit. Taking any exit after the second from the "outside" lane is gonna cause an accident.

I see this happen a few times a year. It's so common that most drivers foresee it.

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 3 points 15 hours ago

Yeah the solution there is spiral roundabouts with hard barriers at critical points.

My favorite is when the pink car stops to allow car 'A' to go 🙃

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 16 hours ago

Some larger roundabouts work that way. Most (in)famously the arc de triomphe in Paris.

Where I live there are two of these

E. Pink car turned turn signal on before entering the circle, keeps turn signal on all the way around the circle, thus invalidating any method of informing other drivers of which exit they intend to use. Car E deserves rapid unplanned orthodontics.

[-] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 15 hours ago

Signals are helpful indicators, but I rarely commit until I see someone's front wheel change direction.

You're probably already watching people's wheels without realising. It's the first real tell.

C is yielding to a pedestrian, but carbrain D cannot fathom yielding to anything smaller than their car.

[-] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 7 points 20 hours ago

There's no pedestrian in the image.

Cars are bad enough as it is that we don't have to imagine more problems with them.

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Were this a 2 lane roundabout, car d would be changing lanes to bypass car c, nearly striking that pedestrian

I love roundabouts as a driver and as a pedestrian. I do admit that the double laned ones can feel like an utter cluster at times though
